I was honored to be invited to give the first annual Schoeni TRENDS Lecture on trends in health and well-being among the older US Latino immigrant population. Our work benefited from insightful comments by Neil Mehta. Check it out here!

I spoke with Lisa Massena about why wealth is not excess -- it’s dignity: the ability to retire securely, withstand shocks, and make choices without fear. Economic policy should expand that dignity, not reserve it for the few. Read our interview here: www.massenaassociates.com/blog/wealth-...
